Afternoon gents.
I recently obtained a load of feldpost letters. I had thought that the letters were a mixed bag from various sources, but Iwas pleased to find that they are all attributed to one Obergefreiter.
The first letter is dated 9th October 1941, and he has written Afrika on the top of the letter. Its feldpost number is 29073.
He also has Feldpost number 28770 on a letter written in Lybien (Libya? - how topical!)
There is nothing from 2th October 1942 until 21st January 1944. These Feldpost letter are all either 37828 or 36896. with one notable exception. On the 11th August 1944 the letter is from 59796. The checking i have done seems to indicate that this is Gruppe Chefarzt 11/1 Lazarett Kreigslazarett-abteilung 528R.
I assume that the chap seems to have been wounded at some point.
The last letter is dated 28th december 1944.
Plenty of stuff to get my teeth into.
His writing is pretty decent, but my German is less so, and I need to establish his surname before I can do anything else.
